Our heartfelt condolences. ... The loss of one’s father marks one of the most profound rites of passage in our life. The Bradshaw Family send our condolences to you for the passing of your father. There will never be another man like him. Reagan & Michael , personally I will miss Mr. Thomas, which he told me to call him Ronnie. We had the best conversations every time we met. Visit him on the porch, in the house and even while he was on the travel in the vehicle. He expressed to me that I was such a lovely lady and he enjoyed conversing with me. Our conversations was common and normal by letting him hold the conversation in the subject of his choice, which made him such a happy man. As the days went on and I watch his demeanor changes begin to pass he still enjoyed a great conversation. Your father was one of the nicest people I know l, along with your mother. Reagan,I know how close you were to your father and what an influence he had on your life. I will truly miss him also, how he seems to calm down when I was in his presents . Looking forward for our moments together . I am truly sorry for father’s sudden Home Going from this earth ,his sudden departure took me by surprise . The pain I felt . Life doesn’t seem fair sometimes and this is one of those moments. Your father I will miss him terribly. A father may past on but his thoughts and hopes and dreams will always live within you . I will keep you close in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as you are going through your process of grieving. Love you , Just a call away Mother Bradshaw &Darrell Bradshaw No matter wherever he is, he'll always be watching over you. ...
